What are your thoughts on the CEO healthcare assassination? (self.technocracy)

I think that assassinations and violence are what happens when laws and legal systems fail to protect people, so from that perspective you can argue the breakdown of society is way overdue. I think technocrats should speak out in favor of Luigi Mangione since from a logical rationalistic perspective, I cannot think of a reason to sympathize with the CEO, besides police possibly harassing you or maybe if you are scared of the current society falling into chaos. What do you guys think?

There is a problem that destroys and ends countless lives in the country for the profit of a few. It is morally indefensible.

The government didn't and still isn't doing shit about it. The legal system didn't do shit about it. Most elected officials like to pretend it doesn't even exist and those who do are ostracized by the media.

Ultimately when something this bad is going on, someone, somewhere will eventually do something about it. All the government had to do is do something about it first. But it didn't.
